LAX-ICN on J
Hello all,
Need some advice. Flying LAX-ICN on J and have a few options.
OZ LAX-ICN on 772
UA LAX-SFO-ICN on 747
UA LAX-NRT-ICN on 789
NH LAX-NRT-ICN on 772
OZ has the nonstop flight, but I get 100% PQM vs 200% on UA or NH. Is it worth the additional PQM over the nonstop and any major difference on flying OZ/UA/NH?
Thanks!

Are they all the same price? Or work is paying so you don't care?
In terms of product :
1. NH
2. OZ
3. UA
NH and OZ similar product then quite a drop to UA

If you are in J, take the nonstop for a simple reason - more sleep time! NRT-LAX flights are often 9 hours or less, gate to gate.

Of course, this is reverse, but the same argument applies.

Agree with others if the time works for you OZ on the A380 is the best option.
If miles is not too important then OZ on the 777, otherwise NH. I personally prefer NH's hard and soft products, but OZ's is pretty decent.
Unless your company requires you to fly on an US based airline UA should be your last option.
